Quick and Easy Fun Fold Card - Video Tutorial

I posted these cards on my blog earlier this month.  You can see the post HERE.  The video below will show you how easy it is to make this fun fold card.

Measurements for making this card (inches):
Card base is 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 2 3/4 & 8 1/4
Designer Series Paper: 1 5/8 x 5
Coordinating card stock: 1 7/8 x 5 1/4
White for inside of card: 4 x 5 1/4

*In the video I added a strip of patterned paper to the inside of the card.  This piece measures 1/2 x 5 1/4.  I gave the wrong measurement in the video.*

Tailored Tag punch was used to punch the label for "Happy Birthday" greeting
1/2 strip of Designer Series paper was placed behind the label  (Did you watch long enough to see how I used the Tailored Tag punch to make the flags on the ends of the paper?)

You can make TWO of these cards as a BONUS if you are one of the first 6 people to sign up for my August zoom class.  The class will use the Seaside Notions stamp set.  You can see the stamp set below.  Get information about that class BY CLICKING HERE.

#sharesunshine

These are the cards that I made using June's Paper Pumpkin kit.  I followed the directions that came in the kit and they went together really quickly and turned out super cute.  

When I was finished making the cards, I filled the Paper Pumpkin box with yellow goodies, wrote a note in one of the cards, and sent it off to a friend who is recovering from surgery.  She called to thank me - and said the package arrived on a day when she really needed it. That was the point of June's kit: to #sharesunshine.

Today is the last day to subscribe for July's kit - which includes enough supplies to create nine postcards and coordinating envelopes, as well as nine die-cut tealight bags.  You can also purchase an "add on" which contains 24 preprinted card bases and coordinating envelopes.  There will be plenty of leftover supplies in the kit to make cards using the "add on."  Click on either image to purchase.

CLICK HERE to visit my website.  Shop 24/7,  RSVP to an online event, and learn more about Bonus Days.

Fun Fold Birthday Card

This is a fun fold card that I made for two friends who had birthdays in June.  I copied the idea from a card that I received from my sister - I will show that card at the end of this blog post.

I have seen similar cards on Pinterest - and even though it may look difficult - this card is actually quite easy to put together.  I used that adorable paper from the last mini catalog which is sadly no longer availabe to purchase.  I hope my friends didn't think it was too childish - I like bright and cheery birthday cards, and we are all young at heart. 

This card would work with any coordinating papers and could be used for any occasion.  The "Happy Birthday" greeting is from the Seaside Notions stamp set - which I will be featuring in my August ZOOM class.  Details about that class will be posted soon!  This will be a BONUS card you will make it that class, with a minimum purchase.

In the photo above - you can see how this card opens and below is a photo of the card fully opened.  It is a regular sized card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) and fits into a Stampin' Up! medium sized envelope. Do you see that I used the scalloped edge die from Stitched Be Mine dies to create the bottom border on the white piece?   I stamp two retired greetings for the inside.

Measurements for making this card (inches):
Card base is 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 2 3/4 & 8 1/4
Designer Series Paper: 1 5/8 x 5
Coordinating card stock: 1 7/8 x 5 1/4
White for inside of card: 4 x 5 1/4

Tailored Tag punch was used to punch the label for "Happy Birthday" greeting
1/2 strip of Designer Series paper was placed behind the label  (I punched the edges on that strip using the Tailored Tag punch.  Can you figure out how I did it?!)

Below are some of the products I used to make the cards.  Click on any image for more information or to add it to your shopping bag in my online store.



And here is the card that Donna sent me - for no particular reason except to brighten my day.  Which it did!

If you have any questions about how to make this cards, please EMAIL me.
